game launcher and game tuner conflict - Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers

- if you configure one, the other complains.
- this started with tuner 3.4.0.4 and launcher 3.2.x.
as expected, Samsung support is clueless, evasive and inept.
observed on Note 8, s8+ and tab s3 all running oreo.

according to the game tuner team:
".... Updating Game Tuner v3.4 and Game Launcher v3.2, we have aligned them to be used exclusively.
So user is only able to use one of them.
Although they now have almost same feature set, you can choose one of them.
Still you can configure game environment in Game Tuner and launch games through Game Launcher..."

[Q] Games performance after 4.4 update?

KitKat allows apps/games to use "immersive mode" to keep the navigation and status bars hidden while maintaining user interaction.
1. Did you notice this change after the update. Can you play games like Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 4 in true Full Screen mode now (with status and nav bars hidden)?
2. Any performance drops in Games after the update?
3. What games do you play on your XZU?

1. Yes Asphalt 8 runs on Full Screen Mode. Haven't tried others but they should update their apps to do that, not KitKat default behavior (it's just an option so devs need to activate the mode first)
2. Seems the same, some stutter here and there at Asphalt 8 race intro, but in the game it is smooth
3. Asphalt 8, Riptide 2 (not installed yet after KitKat update)

Thanks. Please post screenshot of Asphalt 8 playing on XZU 4.4. And what about other apps like Web Browser and Whatsapp etc? Are they running in full screen too with nav bar hidden? I guess several apps were updated recently to support this feature.

My phone is charging right now, maybe later. But it is guaranteed to run full screen. Web Browser and Whatsapp doesn't use Immersive Mode AFAIK. Only games or e-book reader that might implement that mode.

OK, no problem. :good: If there is no performance drop then 4.4 update is MUST for avid gamers. I really disliked the nav bar while playing games. The full immersive mode feature alone is worth the update despite other minor bugs being reported by users.

Modern Combat 5 Looks Terrible

I just downloaded Modern Combat 5 on my Tab S (10.5) and it looks terrible. It just doesn't seem optimized for the tab s. Very blurry/fuzzy looking. Anybody else have this problem?
it even look ugly in note 3...
Bad games are bad.
looks great on my tab s 8.4
The game resolution seems very low on my 8.4......either that or the screen makes the game look bad.
Sounds like a fatality to me. Badumpa.
This game could be like Photoshop on QHD screens, it just doesn'twork.
It is - as usual - looking brilliant only on a few devices, none of which is manufactured by samsung. It will - as usual, too - change until next versions are released. What you can do as for now...
1) decompile Modern Combat 5 apk file using apktool, edit /res/values/scaleprofile.json and set all the "value" keys varying from 85-50 to 100 or add your model symbol ("sm-t700" or "sm-t705") in "specific section" right after other models which are forced to use 100% resolution, recompile again (I cannot however say if recompiling apks is breaking or is not breaking gameloft's license... if it does then it will be illegal to do it, anyway!) - this will increase the resolution.
EDIT: indeed, the file can be edited and re-packed to apk without compiling at all, just using some archiver like winrar and opening apk file. However, after replacing the file you will need to re-sing the apk.
2) use GLTools and force mock Tegra 4 GPU - this will enable the highest quality setting.
Tested on Note Pro 12.2 LTE which is almost same hardware as TabS's LTE. After enabling both above tweaks game still run fine, but looks MUCH better.
I have the same problem with my tab pro 10.1 wifi. It seems the probelm is related to exynos chipset. Is there any possible woraround that doesnt require root?
can this tablet even handle playing at full resolution? I doubt it will run any faster than 30fps..

i used Gltool but nothings changed .. do you know how to use it ?
They released an update but still no change. Apparently they added the option to change GFX setting on some devices but still not on the tab S.

Doesn't work for me with pie.
With game tunter I could force the resolution in The Simpsons Tapped out to WQHD+, now the game starts always with lower resolution - feeling liked zoomed in all the time.
Game Launcher does not offer any resolution options.
Ideas?

Yep, this really sucks. It's hard to notice for some games if they're just running at 1080p but Real Racing 3 has always had this problem. Gear Club needed overclocking (hardware boost) with Game Tuner to play smoothly on Exynos Note 9 at 1440p.
Also, Game Launcher used to have fullscreen mode but now it doesn't under the game tools tab. Now, games that are not yet optimized like Horizon Chase and Smash Hit can only run at 16:9.

Alternative to Game Tuner on Android Pie

It is my first time consulting in XDA apologies for any errors in advance. My query is if there is something that can be used to replace Game Tuner, in Android Pie it does not work anymore and it lacks the option to improve the Hardware Performance. Using an S8 + and in games is like using an S4 for current games without Game Tuner, the performance is really bad. Apart from the option to go back to Android Oreo, is there any way to improve the performance of Hardware?:confuso::Rodar los ojos::llorando:
